'roBAcoo PIPE.

Appncatimiea April 8,1925. serial No. 21,530.

To all 'whom t may conce/M1.:

Be it known that I, WALTER EDWARD A.

REITINGER, a citizen of the United States,

`residing at Paola, in the county of Miami and State of Kansas, have invented a new` and useful lTobacco Pipe, of which the fol-` lowing is a specication.

My invention relates to tobacco pipes, and the object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive and sanitary tobacco pipe having facilities for burning tobacco and fur nishing cool dry smoke therefrom. The subject matter of this application being shown and described in a former application by me made, Serial No. 2,650.

I attain this object and other advantages by means of the structure and parts illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which-'- Figure l is a vertical section of a tobacco pipe which embodies my invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the lower end of the bowl of the pipe.

Figure 3 is a plan view of the lower side of the cap member, a part of my invention.

Figure t is a cross section through the bowl of the pipe, on the line 4 --4,in Figure l.

Similar numerals of reference refer to corresponding` parts throughout the several views. l

Referring to the"drawings-the numeral l designates the bowl of the pipe, 2, the tobacco bowl for burning tobacco therein and 3, the pipe stem. The pipe bowl may be made of any suitable material or substance, preferably made of briar wood because of its well known durability and beauty. The stem may also be made of any suitable material and may be integral with the pipe bowl, or detachably mounted thereon. The pipe bowl, in this instance, is formed cylindrical and in the lower end of the same, at the vertical axis thereof, is a `concentric outlet opening Ll, thus forming between the opening and the inner end of the tobacco bowl a partition 5, in which are apertured a plurality of holes 6 to provide communication between the tobacco bowl and atmosphere. An annular chamber 7 is formed in the vertical wall of the pipe bowl to a depth corresponding to the depth of the tobacco bowl. In the upper portion of the tobacco bowl are apertured a plurality of holes 8 providing communication between the tobacco bowl and the chamber7. A cap member 9 is removably mounted onV the upper end of the pipe bowland provided with an annular flange 10 adapted to enter the upper end of the chamber 7 with suit able ,friction to thereby prevent airfrom entering the tobacco bowl, except through the holes in the lower end of the bowl. The lower side of the cap member is also provided with a boss or plug 1l, adapted to enter the mouth of the tobacco bowl with suitable friction to prevent air entering the mouth of the bowl. The flange 10 and the plug 1l function to seal the upper ends of the tobacco bowl and the chamber 7. Intermediate of the length of the pipe bowl the outer wall thereof is reenforced and through the reenforced portion is apertured a hole l2 which is suitable for` the reception of the pipe stem, said hole communicating with the chamber 7.

To use the tobacco pipe, the cap 9 is removed and the tobacco bowl 2 loaded with a charge of tobacco, whereupon, the cap is again placed on the pipe bowl with its flange l() fitted .into the upper end of the chamber 7, and the plug 11 fitted into the mouth of the tobacco bowl, and thus effectually preventing` air from entering the bowl or the chamber at the upper` end of the pipe bowl. The smoker takes the pipe stem into his mouth and applies the flame of a lighted match to the lower side of the .partition 5 and, at the same time drawing or sucking on the stem, thus drawing the `flame and air through the holes 6 into the tobacco bowl and igniting the tobacco therein, in the well known manner of tobacco smoking. The smoke from the burning tobacco is drawn through the tobacco charge to the upper end of the tobacco bowl, to and against the lower side of the cap 9, and the latter being relatively cooler than the smoke it eifects a perceptible coolingr of the smoke. From the upper end of the tobacco bowl the smoke is drawn into the chamber 7, through the holes 8, and from the chamber through the pipe stem to the smokers mouth. After the smoker has made a draught on the pipe there remains in the chamber 7, and in the upper end of the tobacco bowl a residue of smoke and which is perceptibly cooled by contact with the cool cap and the cool outer wall of the chamber, whereby, nicotine and other deleterious products are deposited in the cooling process. Thereafter, .the-intermittentxdraughts of the smoker Iwill draw= from the chamber a quantity of oool, smooth,`and sanitary tobacco smoke. As

the ltobacco"lournsY the ashes' are "Wasted"' through the holes 6, and a gentle'tapping or shaking of the pipe will olea-r the fire yof ash. The tobacco bowl and the chamber may be readily and easilv @leanedhy'.removing the cap member and brushing or Washmg out the same.4
